Looking to lift my boat seat 3", it is on a 2 3/8" post. So far the best solution I can come up with is to buy 1" X 3" aluminum bar and drill holes through it and mount it between the seat and the post. The aluminum is 33 bucks a ft. Was hoping to do it cheaper. The post are stupid expensive and I doubt I could get one long enough unless it was custom, again more than I want to spend. Any suggestions?

a lot of the posts are adjustable in height which is a nice thing to have but not cheap. also a shock wave seat. even more money but no sore back in waves
I went threw the same think last year on my lund boat .Front seats are just about 3 inches to low . Very hard to find that diameter pipe . So i ended up placing a spacer between the seat and the upper seat base . First i used some 2 x4 but 2 inch was still to low so i installed longer bolts and four 1/4 x 3 inch pipe nipples .
I hope that helps

I was thinking of nipples as well. I might check down at Windsor's off cut bin, might be able to find some really hard wood that I could use for cheap. Just make pillars out of the wood. I was thinking nipples might not have enough bearing surface, a piece of wood I could make a 1 or 1 1/4 square 3" long and drill through it.
